I have been pretty sick with a cough since I returned from Utah, but I'm so glad I got to travel and see my grandchildren there. Izabella has grown so much and is a very smiley happy girl. Both of her brothers, Jacob and Zion really love and watch over her. I stayed for one week with Liana, Siope and Ileina, and one week with Jacob, Mandy, Jacob, Zion and Izabella. Ileina let me share her bed with her. We read lots of books, played games and watched plenty of videos together. I also got to spend Ileina's birthday with her and all her cousins at a Nickle arcade.I experienced all kinds of weather: beautiful fall colors, rain, snow, hail, and fog. The day before I left we celebrated Zion's third birthday. Thank you all for making it such a fun visit.

On returning, I wanted to spend as much time with Joel, Meilani and the kids before they left to go and live in Utah. It was hard to see them leave.

We spent Thanksgiving with Robert, Abi and family and just lazed around after dinner and watched videos and played games.

Now I am getting ready to move (after 10 years in this house) to the townhouses. It will be much smaller, but it is about time we get rid of many things (we are quite the pack rats). We don't always agree on what is to be moved.
